Adelaide River, NT: Dog attacks dog, eaten by crocodile

"[The] two dogs ... repeatedly went to another property where they attacked a dog called Roxy"

Bruce Edwards today pleaded guilty in Darwin Magistrate's Court for allowing his two dogs to repeatedly attack other dogs in the area.

The court was told the two dogs were not fenced and repeatedly left the property to attack another dog named Roxy on a neighbouring property. The second property owner called police after observing the dogs fighting.

One of Mr Edwards' dogs was shot after the attack but the second was later eaten by a "killer crocodile".

Mr Edwards was given a 2 year good behaviour bond and ordered to pay the victim's vet fees.
